Queer joy is revolutionary, but so is sitting with your queer pain. Pleasure might be the euphoria of your first gay bar, while pain could be the sting of family rejection. Buddhism isn't about avoiding these feelings – it's about not getting stuck in them.

It's like focusing on living authentically rather than debating why we're queer – it's about working with what is, right here, right now.
